Our Safe Life.

The concept of ‘safe life’ has been changed with the change of the prevailing phenomenon that affects our life significantly. Previously.we had the perception of ‘safe life’, was to achieve more wealth as far as possible. Our endeavours were delimited by the emphatic tends towards to be ‘richness’. But looking at the climatic changes and suurounding environmental disorders,our rethinkings have started in new mode. We do need to think the vital factors of climatic disorder rather than achieving wealth.

The greenhouse gases (GHG) are increasing day by day, creating severe problem to the environment by contaminating the air basically. Air is significantly contaminated today, due to massive industrialization, incontrollable transportations and forestry uses for domestic purpose and so on.The lavel of carbon-di-oxide is on ascending order.which could be very harmful to our health.It might happen so, that we were facing ‘breathing trouble’ due to the existence of higher percentage of carbon-di-oxide (co2) in the air. Now, we have to think of fighting with such fatal co2 to keep the atmosphere at least at good condition. Our atmosphere should be kept at usable lavel for the future. Otherwise our survival would be threatened very badly.

Yes, we do need the safe life for us unquestionably. We have to be more aware of the preservation of nature and animal planet as well. More and more plantation will be required in this hard task of protecting the nature. We have to plant individually as fer as possible and necessary care should be taken on these plantations for its growth extensively. Contaminaton of water should be handled very strictly. The day will come, when drinking water could not be provided to a large number of population. Deforestation is needed to check severely. More forest will accommodate more lives. Forest can save humans as well as the animal planet satisfactorily.

Our ‘safe life’ is indispensably depending uponthe protection and nurturing of the nature perfectly.It could be done by protecting all natural sources gifted by the nature and taking care of thos living planet seriously and sincerely.

Children Soldiers.

The use of children as soldiers has been universally condemned as abhorrent and unacceptable. Yet over the last ten years hundreds of thousands of children have fought and died in conflicts around the world.
Children involved in armed conflict are frequently killed or injured during combat or while carrying out other tasks. They are forced to engage in hazardous activities such as laying mines or explosives, as well as using weapons. Child soldiers are usually forced to live under harsh conditions with insufficient food and little or no access to healthcare. They are almost always treated brutally, subjected to beatings and humiliating treatment. Punishments for mistakes or desertion are often very severe. Girl soldiers are particularly at risk of rape, sexual harassment and abuse as well as being involved in combat and other tasks
. Children are forcibly recruited into armed groups in many conflicts but the vast majority of child soldiers are adolescents between the age of 14 and 18 who "volunteer" to join up. However, research has shown that a number of factors may be involved in making the decision to actually join an armed conflict and in reality many such adolescents see few alternatives to enlisting. War itself is a major determinant. Economic, social, community and family structures are frequently ravaged by armed conflict and joining the ranks of the fighters is often the only means of survival. Many youths have reported that desire to avenge the killing of relatives or other violence arising from war is an important motive.
Poverty and lack of access to educational or work opportunities are additional factors - with joining up often holding out either the promise or the reality of an income or a means of getting one. Coupled with this may be a desire for power, status or social recognition. Family and peer pressure to join up for ideological or political reasons or to honour family tradition may also be motivating factors. Girl soldiers have reported joining up to escape domestic servitude or enforced marriage or get away from domestic violence, exploitation and abuse.
The problem is most critical in Africa, where children as young as nine have been involved in armed conflicts. Children are also used as soldiers in various Asian countries and in parts of Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.
The majority of the world's child soldiers are involved in a variety of armed political groups. These include government-backed paramilitary groups, militias and self-defence units operating in many conflict zones. Others include armed groups opposed to central government rule, groups composed of ethnic religious and other minorities and clan-based or factional groups fighting governments and each other to defend territory and resources.
Most child soldiers are aged between 14 and 18, While many enlist "voluntarily" research shows that such adolescents see few alternatives to involvement in armed conflict. Some enlist as a means of survival in war-torn regions after family, social and economic structures collapse or after seeing family members tortured or killed by government forces or armed groups. Others join up because of poverty and lack of work or educational opportunities. Many girls have reported enlisting to escape domestic servitude, violence and sexual abuse.
Forcible abductions, sometimes of large numbers of children, continue to occur in some countries. Children as young as nine have been abducted and used in combat.
Demobilization, disarmament and reintegration (DDR) programs specifically aimed at child soldiers have been established in many countries, both during and after armed conflict and have assisted former child soldiers to acquire new skills and return to their communities. However, the programs lack funds and adequate resources. Sustained long-term investment is needed if they are to be effective.
Despite growing recognition of girls' involvement in armed conflict, girls are often deliberately or inadvertently excluded from DDR programs. Girl soldiers are frequently subjected to rape and other forms of sexual violence as well as being involved in combat and other roles. In some cases they are stigmatized by their home communities when they return. DDR programs should be sensitively constructed and designed to respond to the needs of girl soldiers.
The UN Security council has issued a series of resolutions condemning the use of child soldiers and proposing measures to stop child recruitment. These include dialogue with parties to armed conflict aimed at the immediate demobilization of children; and targeted measures to sanction those who continue to recruit and use them as soldiers. Such measures could include the suspension of military aid or assistance, weapons or travel bans of asset freezing.
The UN General Assembly, the UN Commission on Human Rights, the African Union (formerly the Organization for African Unity), the European Union, the Organization of American States and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe have all condemned the recruitment and use of child soldiers.
